UNIX IMPLEMENTATION FOR IBM COMPUTERS
ANTICIPATED, Information Systems News, 11/28,
p.1. Industry sources reported that IBM will
make a major announcement defining its strategy
for providing UNIX for its mainframe
processors, and possibly for its PCs. The
announcement may come by mid-December. Some
sources see the strategy declaration as
forestalling possible competitive pressure from
AT&T after Jan 1; others view it as answering
customers' clamor for UNIX applications.
Several leading software firms are pursuing
UNIX development contracts with IBM.
